I hadn’t noticed this, but she had all of her million stupid little dresses on the stupid little velvet hangers all hanging on one side because she didn’t want the door to touch them for some reason.

Lots of "say yes to the dress" for me though......

Allowing pets has also led to some significant mishaps and disturbances.Best remedy for preventing cats from pooping in the flower beds: lay down chicken wire under the top dressing... cats will scratch once and leave it alone, as it catches their claws, but doesn't hurt them.

Be professional, dress business casual and just go around the room shaking hands introducing yourself.

I couldn't even dress myself for 9 months.

If you find value in a 1500 dollar dress, why would you just RATE shop a mortgage which is far more complex than purchasing a dress, and the price of it is 100-10000 times more of a 1500 dollar dress?

I'd probably throw in a new cabinet just to dress it up and a folding table for the laundry area. 9.

Tenant Happy.Landlord sleepy.2 am Fire Dept. calls.Fire at such and such a place.We get dress.

They may dress fancy and use industry jargon you're not used to but in the end their just people trying to find deals.Knowing that, I would be really up front as to what kind of RE deals you are looking to finance and what kind of time windows you have.Ask them about how long it takes to close.Ask them about interest rates and how long an offer is good for.Ask them what information they need from you to qualify you.Ask them about closing costs and which parts of it are negotiable.Ask the loan officer what they need in order to close a deal.Ask them what kind of business they are looking for.Ask them if the relationship will change with the 5th deal you finance with them and the 10th.Tell them you are talking to a whole bunch of banks and are looking to establish business relationships.Good Luck!
